1.Description of the Business and Financial Condition

ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (the “Company”) is a commercial-stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of technology that enables physicians to see inside the brain using direct, intra-procedural magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) guidance whileinnovative platforms for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures.

procedures in the brain. From the Company’s inception in 1998, the Company deployed significant resources to fund its efforts to develop the foundational capabilities for enabling MRI-guided interventions, building an intellectual property portfolio, and identifying and building out commercial applications for the technologies it develops. In 2021, the Company’s efforts expanded beyond the MRI suite to encompass development and commercialization of new neurosurgical device products for the operating room setting, as well as consulting services for pharmaceutical companies.

The Company’s initial product offering, the ClearPoint® system, is an integrated system comprised of capital equipment and disposable products, is designed to allow minimally invasive procedures in the brain to be performed in an MRI suite. The ClearPoint Array Neuro Navigation System and its principal disposable component, introduced in 2021, can be deployed in an operating room setting, while also being usable in an MRI suite. Both systems provide guidance for the placement and operation of instruments or devices during the planning and operation of neurosurgical procedures. The Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in 2010 to market the ClearPoint system in the United States for general neurologicalneurosurgical interventional procedures.

On March 11, 2020,procedures; in February 2011, the World Health Organization characterizedCompany also obtained CE marking approval for its ClearPoint system. In 2011 and 2018 the spread ofCompany received 510(k) clearance and CE marking approval, respectively, for its SmartFlow cannula which is being used, or is under evaluation, by approximately 45 pharmaceutical companies having a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic,focus on biologics and on March 13,drug delivery.

COVID-19
The extraordinary measures taken beginning in 2020 the President of the United States proclaimed that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constituted a national emergency. Continued widespread infection in the United States is a possibility. Extraordinary actions have been taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities in response to combat the spreadnovel strain of COVID-19,the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including issuance of “stay-at-home” directives and similar mandates for many individuals tothat substantially restrictrestricted daily activities and for many businesses to curtailcurtailed or ceaseceased normal operations. These measures, while intended to protect human life, havebusiness operations, led to reduced economic activity, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgical procedures, which historically have represented approximately 80% of the number of surgical procedures using the Company’s ClearPoint system.

Although economic activity is returning to normalized levels, new variants of COVID-19, such as Delta and Omicron, continue to spread in the United States and across the globe. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of vaccines against different variants and the response by governmental bodies and regulators. Management is unable to determine the timing, adoption or viability of periodic resumption, if any, of elective procedures; and the resulting length of time that the COVID-19 pandemic will adversely affect the Company’s product revenues.

Furthermore, the recessionary conditions on the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, as hospitals postpone or reduce capital purchases and overall spending.business. Although most segments of the United States economy have reopened, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remain intense in many areas of the country, and many public health experts continue to warn of the potential for future surges of COVID-19.COVID-19 due to new variants could occur in the future. Accordingly, reinstatement of directives and mandates requiring businesses to again curtail or cease normal operations, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgeries, remains a possibility. The continuing uncertainty as to whether the federal government will address the resulting fiscal condition in both the near term and long term with measures such as additional fiscal stimulus, as well as other geopolitical issues relating to theAdditionally, global economic slowdown, has increased domestic and global instability.supply chain disruptions, labor shortages which may affect the Company’s ability to retain and attract new talent, and inflationary conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludeprecludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments directly or indirectly relating to the duration and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, which has resulted in a cumulative deficit at March 31, 20212022 of $122$137.9 million. In addition, the Company’s use of cash from operations amounted to $2.1$4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and $7.8$12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

The SPA also gave the Company the right, but not the obligation, to request one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders to purchase an additional $5.0 million in principal amount of a note (the “Second Closing Note”, and, together with the First Closing Note, the “2020 Secured Notes”). On December 29, 2020, under the terms of an amendment to the SPA (the “Amendment”) which, among other provisions, increased the principal amount of the Second Closing Note, the Company issued the Second Closing Note to the 2020 Convertible Noteholder in the principal amount of $7.5 million.

In April 2020, the Company received $0.9 million in proceeds through a loan funded under the Payroll Protection Program as partto one of the CARES Act (the “PPP Loan”).

As discussed in Note 7, on February 23, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 2,127,660 shares of its common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $46.8 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

Based on the foregoing, in management’s opinion, cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2021,2022 are sufficient to support the Company’s operations and meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s December 31, 20202021 audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth therein. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with SEC rules for interim financial information, and, therefore, omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present such statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 20202021 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20202021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods.

Inventory

In conformity with Accounting Standards Codification Section 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” the Company amortizes its investment in the license rights described above over an expected useful life of five years. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its investment in the license rights and records an impairment charge in the event such evaluation indicates that the Company’s investment is not likely of beingto be recovered.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is comprised primarily of: (1) product revenue resulting from the sale of functional neurosurgery, navigation, therapy, and biologics and drug delivery disposable products; (2) product revenue resulting from the sale of ClearPoint capital equipment and software; (3) revenue resulting from the service, installation, training and shipping related to ClearPoint capital equipment and software; and (4) consultation revenue and clinical case support revenue in connection with customer-sponsored clinical trials. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the Company’s products and services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products and services, in a process that involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. When a contract calls for the satisfaction of multiple performance obligations for a single contract price, the Company allocates the contract price among the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone prices for each such performance obligation customarily charged by the Company. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control.

Lines of Business; Timing of Revenue Recognition

·Functional neurosurgery navigation product, biologics and drug delivery systems product, and therapy product sales: Revenue from the sale of functional neurosurgery navigation products (consisting of disposable products sold commercially and related to cases utilizing the Company’s ClearPoint system), biologics and drug delivery systems (consisting primarily of disposable products related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing the ClearPoint system), and therapy products (consisting primarily of disposable laser-related products used in non-neurosurgical procedures), is generally based on customer purchase orders, the predominance of which require delivery within one week of the order having been placed, and are recognized at the point in time of delivery to the customer, which is the point at which legal title, and risks and rewards of ownership, along with physical possession, transfer to the customer.

Concentration Risks and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company holds substantially all its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the U.S. insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had approximately $60$44.0 million in bank balances that were in excess of the insured limits.

One customer accounted for 14%

At March 31, 2022, there were two customers (one of which is a related party as discussed below) whose accounts receivable at March 31, 2021,balances represented 13% and one customer accounted for 11% of accounts receivable at that date. At December 31, 2020.

2021, one customer accounted for 15% of accounts receivable at that date.

One pharmaceutical customer, a related party as discussedwho is a stockholder, a noteholder, and who has a representative on the Company's Board of Directors (see Note 5), for whom the Company provides hardware, software, clinical services and market development services in Note 3,support of the customer's clinical trials, and from whom the Company earns a quarterly fee, accounted for 17%19% and 28%17% of total sales in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Prior to granting credit, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, and generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company will provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when collections become doubtful. The allowance for doubtful accounts at each of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 was $0.06 million.

$0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to risks common to emerging companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to: new technological innovations; acceptance and competitiveness of its products; dependence on key personnel; dependence on key suppliers; dependence on third-party collaboration, license and joint development partners; changes in general economic conditions and interest rates; protection of proprietary technology; compliance with changing government regulations; uncertainty of widespread market acceptance of products; access to credit for capital purchases by customers; and product liability claims. Certain components used in manufacturing have relatively few alternative sources of supply and establishing additional or replacement suppliers for such components cannot be accomplished quickly. The inability of any of these suppliers to fulfill the Company’s supply requirements may negatively impact future operating results.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted, on a modified retrospective method of transition, the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) – Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (the “ASU”). The ASU is effective for public companies, other than smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for smaller reporting companies, which is the Company’s current classification, for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023. However, the ASU permits early adoption no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 31,
10

(Unaudited)
2020, and the Company elected such early adoption. The ASU amends prior authoritative literature to reduce the number of accounting models for, among others, convertible debt instruments for which the embedded conversion features of such instruments had previously been required to be separated from the host contract. The Company determined that the conversion feature embedded in the Second Closing Note (see Note 5) was within the scope of the ASU. Accordingly, the discount originally recorded in connection with the issuance of the Second Closing Note and a corresponding amount recorded in additional paid-in capital, each in the amount of approximately $3.1 million at the date of issuance of the Second Closing Note, were reversed as of the date of adoption of the ASU.

Under GAAP in existence at the date of issuance of the Second Closing Note, the resulting discount was calculated as the product of (i) the number of shares into which the Second Closing Note could be converted, multiplied by (ii) the difference between the closing price per share and the conversion price. Upon recordation of the discount, a corresponding amount was added to additional paid-in capital. As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the provisions of the ASU that2020-06 which no longer required such beneficial conversion features to be separately accounted for, and as previously described in this paragraph. As a result, the accompanying MarchDecember 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the elimination of both the discount and thea corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital previously described in this paragraph.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties. You should review the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing in our 20202021 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1.A of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements described in the following discussion and analysis. In addition, historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.

Overview

We are a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and commercializes innovative platforms for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures in the brain under direct, intra-proceduralbrain. We have deployed significant resources to fund our efforts to develop the foundational capabilities for enabling MRI-guided interventions, building an intellectual property portfolio, and identifying and building out commercial applications for the technologies developed by our company. In 2021, our efforts expanded beyond the MRI guidance. Our principal product platformsuite to encompass development and commercialization of new neurosurgical device products for the operating room, as well as consulting services for pharmaceutical companies.
Since 2020, we have evolved to become a company comprised of two parts. The first foundational part is our ClearPoint system, whicha medical device company providing medical devices for neurosurgery applications. The second part is in commercial use and is used to perform minimally invasive surgical proceduresfocused on collaborating with pharmaceutical companies in the brain. Thebiologics and drug delivery space to develop delivery methodologies for neurological drugs. Currently, approximately 45 of whom are either evaluating or using our SmartFlow cannula and, in certain cases, in conjunction with our full ClearPoint system utilizes intra-procedural MRI to guide the procedures and is designed to work in a hospital’s existing MRI suite. We believe that this product platform delivers better patient outcomes, enhances revenue potential for both physicians and hospitals, and reduces costs to the healthcare system.

Neuro Navigation platform.

In 2010, we received regulatory clearance from the FDA to market our ClearPoint system in the U.S. for general neurosurgery procedures. In 2011, we also obtained CE marking approval for our ClearPoint system, which enables us to sell our ClearPoint system in the European Union. Substantially all our product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 relates to sales of our ClearPoint system products and related services. We have financed our operations and internal growth primarily through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible and other secured notes, and license arrangements.notes. We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1998 as we have devoted substantial efforts to research and development. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had accumulated losses of approximately $122$137.9 million. We may continue to incur operating losses as we expand our ClearPoint system platform and our business generally.

Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations

The following is a description of factors that may influence our future results of operations, and that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States proclaimed that the COVID-19 outbreak

The extraordinary measures taken beginning in the United States constituted a national emergency. Continued widespread infection in the United States is a possibility. Extraordinary actions have been taken2020 by federal, state and local governmental authorities in response to combat the spreadnovel strain of COVID-19, the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic,including issuance of “stay-at-home” directives and similar mandates for many individuals tothat substantially restrictrestricted daily activities and for many businesses to curtailcurtailed or ceaseceased normal operations. These measures, while intended to protect human life, havebusiness operations, led to reduced economic activity, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgical procedures, which historically have represented approximately 80% of the number of surgical procedures using the Company’sour ClearPoint system.

Although economic activity is returning to normalized levels, new variants of COVID-19, such as Delta and Omicron, continue to spread in the United States and across the globe. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of vaccines against different variants and the response by governmental bodies and regulators. We are unable to determine the timing, adoption or viability of periodic resumption, if any, of elective procedures; and the resulting length of time that the COVID-19 pandemic will adversely affect our product revenues.

Furthermore, the recessionary conditions on the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, as hospitals postpone or reduce capital purchases and overall spending.our business. Although most segments of the United States economy have reopened, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remain intense in many areas of the country, and many public health experts continue to warn of the potential for future surges of COVID-19.COVID-19 due to new variants could occur in the future. Accordingly, reinstatement of directives and mandates requiring

businesses to again curtail or cease normal operations, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgeries, remains a possibility. The continuing uncertainty as to whether the federal government will address the resulting fiscal condition in both the near term and long term with measures such as additional fiscal stimulus, as well as other geopolitical issues relating to theAdditionally, global economic slowdown, has increased domestic and global instability.supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, which may affect our ability to retain and attract new talent, and inflationary conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business. The rapid development and the fluidity of the situation precludeprecludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the Company’sour business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments directly or indirectly relating to the duration and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.

Key Performance Indicators

The key performance indicators we utilize on a tactical basis are integrated intoto monitor our longer-termprogress against our strategic plan are:
Functional neurosurgery navigation
Number of “Active Surgery Centers” – For purposes of analyzing this performance indicator, an Active Surgery Center is a hospital or customer-sponsored contract research organization that has purchased products from us or has performed procedures utilizing our ClearPoint system within a rolling 24-month period, and includes hospital sites having purchased the following categories:

·Functional neurosurgery navigation
oCase volume – Underlying the revenue from sales of our functional neurosurgery navigation products reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are the procedures, or cases, performed in hospitals utilizing one or more of our products or our clinical services. Case volume data is not influenced by variations in pricing or quantities of product used on a per case basis, and thus provide a more reliable indicator of the growth of our functional neurosurgery navigation line of business. Management analyzes case volume by hospital and by type of procedure to gain information that informs targeted sales and marketing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the ClearPoint system was used in 214 cases, as compared to 187 cases during the same period in 2020, representing an increase of 14% for the comparative three-month periods. Consistent with the discussion in the section “Results of Operations –Revenue,” we attribute this increase to the resumption of elective neurosurgical procedures to near pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the cessation of such procedures during the same period in 2020.

oNumber of “Active Surgery Centers” – For purposes of analyzing this performance indicator, an Active Surgery Center is a hospital that has purchased products from us or has performed procedures utilizing our ClearPoint system within a rolling 24-month period, and includes hospital sites having purchased the ClearPoint system, as well as sites in which the ClearPoint system is being used on an evaluation basis. The justification for including “evaluation sites” is that our disposable neurosurgery product is sold to such hospitals for their use in cases. In addition to signifying growth, the number of Active Surgery Centers, when analyzed in conjunction with case volume data, further informs targeted sales and marketing activities and confirms where these activities have led to increased penetration of our product lines. As of March 31, 2021, the ClearPoint system was used in more than 60 Active Surgery Centers, which is comparable to the number of such centers as of the same date in 2020. Consistent with the discussion in the section “Results of Operations – Revenue,” we attribute the lack of growth in this performance indicator to the COVID-19 pandemic.

·Biologics and drug delivery
oNumber of “Partners” – Underlying the revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is the number of customers, or “Partners.” Our Partners consist of pharmaceutical and biotech companies that are developing methods to deliver a wide variety of molecules, genes or proteins to targeted brain tissue or structures that would need to bypass the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of a variety of disorders. This is a novel area in which commercialization must be preceded by FDA-mandated clinical trials, which are expensive and time consuming to conduct, and for which the commercial success is uncertain, pending, in part, the outcome of those trials. While our revenue from sales of products and services to these Partners in support of their clinical trials is indicative of growth, the number of such relationships is also of importance as we recognize the possibility that some Partners’ research will reach commercial success, and others may not. To the extent our Partners achieve commercial success, our expectation is that we will share in such success through our Partners’ use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies. At March 31, 2021, we had commercial relationships with more than 25 Partners, as compared with approximately 20 Partners as of the same date in 2020.

·Therapy products – We do not expect meaningful revenue from therapy products in 2021 insofar as we are targeting a limited market release of such products in 2022. As a result, our milestones in the therapy space are focused on refining the product and obtaining regulatory clearance. Should we be successful in achieving these milestones, we believe our initial performance indicators will focus on case volume and number of Active Surgery Centers, as are currently used in measuring our performance in functional neurosurgery navigation.

·Global scale and efficiency – We have been cautious in setting our goals for operations beyond the U.S. so as to conserve our resources and not establish a foreign presence in advance of being assured of a corresponding revenue stream. In late 2020 we took the first steps in leveraging the CE Marks we have for our ClearPoint system and SmartFlow cannula by establishing an initial presence in Europe for product sales and clinical advisory services. From this initial presence, we believe that future global key performance indicators will be similar to those described above for our U.S. business: case volume, number of Active Surgery Centers and number of biologics and drug delivery Partners.

ClearPoint system, as well as sites in which the ClearPoint system is being used on an evaluation basis. The justification for including “evaluation sites” is that our disposable neurosurgery product is sold to such hospitals for their use in cases. In addition to signifying growth, the number of Active Surgery Centers, when analyzed in conjunction with case volume data, further informs targeted sales and marketing activities and confirms where these activities have led to increased penetration of our product lines. As of March 31, 2022, the ClearPoint system was used in approximately 60 Active Surgery Centers, which is comparable to the number of such centers of the same date in 2021.
Biologics and drug delivery

Number of “Partners” – Underlying the revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is the number of customers, or “Partners.” Our Partners consist of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or customer-sponsored contract research organizations that are developing methods to deliver a wide variety of molecules, genes or proteins to targeted brain tissue or structures that would need to bypass the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of a variety of disorders. This is a novel area in which commercialization must be preceded by FDA-mandated clinical trials, which are expensive and time consuming to conduct, and for which the commercial success is uncertain, pending, in part, the outcome of those trials. While our revenue from sales of products and services to these Partners in support of their clinical trials is indicative of growth, the number of such relationships is also of importance as we recognize the possibility that some Partners’ research will reach commercial success, and others may not. To the extent our Partners achieve commercial success, our expectation is that we will share in such success through our Partners’ use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies. At March 31, 2022, we had commercial relationships with approximately 45 Partners, as compared with approximately 25 Partners as of the same date in 2021.
Revenue

In 2010, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market our ClearPoint system in the U.S. for general neurosurgery procedures; in February 2011 and May 2018, we also obtained CE marketing approval for our ClearPoint system and SmartFlow cannula, respectively; and in June 2020 we obtained CE marking approval for version 2.0 of our ClearPoint software and our Inflexion head fixation frame. In January 2021, we received 510(k) clearance for the SmartFrame Array Neuro Navigation System. Future revenue from sales of our ClearPoint platform products and services is difficult to predict and may not be sufficient to offset our continuing research and development expenses and our increasing selling, general and administrative expenses.

Generating recurring revenue from the sale of products is an important part of our business model for our ClearPoint system. We anticipate that, over time, recurring revenue will constitute an increasing percentage of our total revenue as we leverage installations of our ClearPoint system to generate recurring sales of our functional neurosurgery navigation products. Our product revenue was approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022, and werewas almost entirely related to our ClearPoint system.

In addition, we expect that, over time, service revenue will constitute an increasing portion of our total revenue based on: (a) leveraging current and future installations of ClearPoint systems, as discussed above, so as to result in an increase in functional neurosurgery service revenue; and (b) increasing biologics and drug delivery service revenue should our customers in this space be successful in expansion of their clinical trials, and should we be successful in continuing to establish relationships with new biologic and drug delivery partners. Our service revenue was approximately $0.9$1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

2022, of which 70% related to the biologics and drug delivery service line.

Our revenue recognition policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included above in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the direct costs associated with the assembly and purchase of components for functional neurosurgery navigation products, biologics and drug delivery products, non-neurosurgery therapy products, and ClearPoint capital equipment and software which we have sold, and for which we have recognized the revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.policy, as well as labor hours for the cost of providing consulting and service revenue. Cost of revenue also includes the allocation of manufacturing overhead costs and depreciation of loaned systems installed under our ClearPoint placement program, as well as provisions for obsolete, impaired, or excess inventory. With the anticipated increases in the contribution to total revenue of sales of recurring products and services, as discussed above, we expect gross margin, as a percentage of total revenue, to increase over time.

Research and Development Costs

Our research and development costs consist primarily of costs associated with the conceptualization, design, testing, and prototyping of our ClearPoint system products.products and enhancements. Such costs include salaries, travel, and benefits for research and development personnel, including related share-based compensation;personnel; materials and laboratory supplies in research and development activities; outside consultant costs; and licensing costs related to technology not yet commercialized. We anticipate that, over time, our research and development costs may increase as we: (i) continue to develop enhancements to our ClearPoint system;system and SmartFlow cannula; and (ii) seek to expand the application of our technological platforms. From our inception through March 31, 2021,2022, we have incurred approximately $63$73 million in research and development expenses.

Product development timelines, likelihood of success, and total costs can vary widely by product candidate. There are also risks inherent in the regulatory clearance and approval process. At this time, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs that we will incur in our efforts to expand the application of our technological platforms.

Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative Expenses

Our sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive-based compensation, travel and benefits, including related share-based compensation; marketing costs; professional fees, including fees for outside attorneys and outside accountants; occupancy costs; insurance; and other general and administrative expenses, which include, but are not limited to, corporate licenses, director fees, hiring costs, taxes, postage, office supplies, information technology and meeting costs. Our sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase due to costs associated with the commercialization of our ClearPoint system and the increased headcount necessary to support growth in operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 as compared to the critical accounting policies described in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

Revenue. Total revenue was $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represents an increase of $0.9$1.0 million, or 29%25%.

Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 10%17% to $1.9$2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, from $1.7$1.9 million for the same period in 2020.2021. This increase reflects the resumption in the three months ended March 31, 2021,$0.4 million of elective surgical procedures, which were postponed or cancelledservice revenue related to development services during the three months ended March 31, 2020, due2022 compared to no service revenue for the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although elective surgeries have resumed, we are unable to determine the extent to which such factors as the timing, adoption or viability of such resumption will impact our revenue due to the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic and our inability to determine the length of time that the COVID-19 pandemic will adversely affect oursame period in 2021, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in product revenue. There were no increases in functional neurosurgery product prices during the period between the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the same period in 20202021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.

Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 61%30% to $1.7$2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, from $1.0$1.7 million for the same period in 2020.2021. This increase was dueis attributable to ana $0.6 million increase in service revenue related to new and continued partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and research organizations during the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2021, relative2022 compared to the same period in 2020, in biologic and drug delivery product revenue of $0.7 million,2021. This is partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in biologic and drug delivery serviceproduct revenue. This increase notwithstanding, our biologic and drug delivery customers are reestablishing their estimated timelines for initiation or resumption of their clinical trials, however, these timelines have not been finalized, given the uncertainties of when hospitals will be able to resume such clinical trial cases. Accordingly, depending on the length of the COVID-19 pandemic, future biologics and drug delivery revenue could be adversely impacted. There were no increases in biologics and drug delivery product prices during the period between the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the same period in 20202021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.

Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, increased 31%41% to $0.5$0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, from $0.3$0.5 million for the same period in 2020. While revenue2021. Revenue from this product line historically has varied from quarter to quarter, and overall, we believe that the increase represents the partial resumption of hospitals’ capital equipment acquisition activities subsequentremain at a low level, relative to such activities having been curtailed duethe acquisition activity prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no increases in capital equipment product prices during the period between the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and the same period in 20202021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.

Cost of Revenue. Revenue and Gross Profit. Cost of revenue was $1.8 million, resulting in gross profit of $3.2 million and gross margin of 65%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and was $1.4 million, resulting in gross profit of $2.6 million and representing a gross margin of 65%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and2021. Gross margin was $0.9 million, representing a gross margin of 70%,consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease in gross margin was2022 due primarily to: (a) higher production volume during the three months ended March 31, 2021, relative to the same period in 2020, resulting in a larger portionan increased contribution of overhead being allocated to cost of revenue; and (b) a shift in the mix of revenue by line of business stemming from service revenue, which bearcarries a higher gross margins in comparison

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs were $1.6$2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, compared to $0.8$1.6 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of $0.8$1.0 million, or 91%62%. The increase was due primarily to increases in personnel costs of $0.5$0.3 million due to growth in headcount, and in new product development of $0.1$0.7 million, each increaseboth resulting from our efforts to expand the applications of our technological platforms.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.6$1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, compared to $1.3$1.6 million for the same period in 2019,2021, an increase of $0.3 million, or 21%17%. This increase was due primarily to increases in personnel costs of $0.4 million resulting from increases in headcount in our clinical specialistof $0.2 million and marketing teams. These increases were partially offset by a decreaseactivities of $0.1 million due primarily to a change in timing of our annual national sales meeting.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $1.7$2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, compared to $1.3$1.7 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of $0.4$1 million, or 30%65%. This increase was due primarily to increases in insurance costs of $0.1 million, occupancy costs of $0.1 million, audit fees and consulting fees of $0.1 million, and incentive-based andincreased share-based compensation of $0.05$0.6 million each.

and personnel costs of $0.3 million, both attributed to increases in headcount, and $0.1 million as a result of increased insurance costs.

Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 was $0.3$0.1 million, compared with $0.8to $0.3 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily2021, due to the charge to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and amounting to approximately $0.8 million related to the unamortized balanceconversion of the 2010 Secured Notes that were repaid in full during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense associated witha portion of the 2020 Secured Convertible Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2021, relative to the interest incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 associated with the 2010 Secured Notes.in May and November 2021. Additional information with respect to the 2010 Secured Notes and the 2020 Secured Notes is in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred net losses since our inception which has resulted in a cumulative deficit at March 31, 20212022 of $122$137.9 million. In addition, our use of cash from operations amounted to $2.1$4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and $7.8$12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. Since inception, we have financed our operations principally from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of notes payable, product and service contracts and license arrangements.

payable.

In January 2020, we entered into the SPA with the 2020 Convertible Noteholders under which we issued the First Closing Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $17.5 million, resulting in proceeds, net of financing costs and a commitment fee paid to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders, of approximately $16.8 million. From the net proceeds received from the issuance of the First Closing Notes, which have a five-year term, we repaid and retired the 2010 Secured Notes that otherwise would have matured in October and November 2020.

The SPA also gave us the right, but not the obligation, to request one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders to purchase an additional $5.0 million in principal amount of the Second Closing Note. On December 29, 2020, under the terms of an amendmentthe Amendment to the SPA which, among other provisions, increased the principal amount of the Second Closing Note, we issued the Second Closing Note to one of the 2020 Convertible NoteholderNoteholders in the principal amount of $7.5 million.

In April 2020, we received $0.9 million in proceeds under the terms of the PPP Loan. In November 2020, we were notified by the U.S. Small Business Administration that the loan had been forgiven under the provision of the CARES Act.

See Note 5 for additional information with respect to the 2020 Secured Notes and the PPP Loan.

Notes.

As discussed in Note 7, on February 23, 2021, we completed a public offering of 2,127,660 shares of our common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $46.8 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Based on the foregoing, in management’s opinion, cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2021,2022, are sufficient to support our operations and meet our obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

To date, we have not achieved profitability. We could continue to incur net losses as we continue our efforts to expand the commercialization of our ClearPoint system products and pursue additional applications for our technology platforms. Our cash balances are primarily held in a variety of demand accounts with a view to liquidity and capital preservation.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of medical devices, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to successfully commercialize our ClearPoint system products and pursue additional applications for our technology platforms. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

the ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
the timing of broader market acceptance and adoption of our ClearPoint system products;

the ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our ongoing product development activities relating to our ClearPoint system;
the cost and timing of expanding our sales, clinical support, marketing and distribution capabilities, and other corporate infrastructure;
the cost and timing of establishing inventories at levels sufficient to support our sales;
the effect of competing technological and market developments;
the timing of broader market acceptance and adoption of our ClearPoint system products;
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our ongoing product development activities relating to our ClearPoint system;
the cost and timing of expanding our sales, clinical support, marketing and distribution capabilities, and other corporate infrastructure;
the cost and timing of establishing inventories at levels sufficient to support our sales;
the effect of competing technological and market developments;
the cost of pursuing additional applications of our technology platforms under current collaborative arrangements, and the terms and timing of any future collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish;
the cost and timing of any clinical trials;
the cost and timing of regulatory filings, clearances and approvals; and
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to interest income and expense sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates.

Our investments are in short-term bank deposits and institutional money market funds. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing income we receive without significantly increasing risk. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we believe that we are not subject to any material market risk exposure.

At March 31, 2021,2022, we had $17.5$10 million of principal outstanding under the 2020 Secured Notes.a First Closing Note, which is subject to interest rate fluctuations. A one-percent increase in one-month LIBOR would result in ano net increase in interest expense of $0.175 million on an annualized basis due to the fact that the Secured Notes areFirst Closing Note is subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.00% and one-month LIBOR was below the floor as of March 31, 2021.

2022. Information with respect to the First Closing Notes may be found in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Foreign Currency Risk

To date, we have not recorded a significant amount of sales in currencies other than U.S. dollars, and have only limited business transactions in foreign currencies. We do not currently engage in hedging or similar transactions to reduce our foreign currency risks, which at present, are not material. We believe we have no material exposure to risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates at this time. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our internal processes relating to foreign currency exchange, including the potential use of hedging strategies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within our organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 20212022 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021.

2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021,2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

10-K, except as set forth below.

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected by the current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other future social and geopolitical instability.

We are exposed to the risk of changes in social, geopolitical, legal, and economic conditions. The global economy has been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other G7 countries, among other countries, have imposed substantial financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. Broad restrictions on exports to Russia have also been imposed. These measures include: (i) comprehensive financial sanctions against major Russian banks; (ii) additional designations of Russian individuals with significant business interests and government connections; (iii) designations of individuals and entities involved in Russian military activities; and (iv) enhanced export controls and trade sanctions limiting Russia's ability to import various goods. The negative impacts arising from the conflict and these sanctions and export restrictions may include reduced consumer demand, supply chain disruptions, increased cybersecurity risks, and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw materials. Although none of our operations are in Russia or Ukraine, further escalation of geopolitical tensions could have a broader impact that expands into other markets where we do business, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
